1992 Air Force Budget

Potential Reduction for the B-2 Initial Spares Gao ID: NSIAD-91-326BR September 30, 1991

The Air Force's $2.6 billion budget request for initial spare parts to support the B-2 aircraft in its early deployment years can be reduced by $178.9 million. The budget request submitted to Congress in February 1991 may no longer be valid because the Air Force has since revised its requirements by calculating the parts to be purchased on the basis of predicted usage, wear-out rates, and lead time. The recalculation took into account a classified subsystem that was canceled and unobligated funds that could be used for purchases through fiscal year 1992.

GAO identified $178.9 million in potential reduction to the Air Force's FY 1992 budget request for B-2 initial spares.
